No Fap November

[chadthestampede]

Anyone else doing this? I saw this over on bf.c originally.

It actually hasn't been difficult so far, but I was having trouble sleeping last night and I knew a utility yank would have done the trick.

Tried and failed, now trying again.

Does not compute.

Is this just personal faping? Does it count if you have a wife :)

[chadthestampede]

Just personal

[JBird]

What's the point?

It's definitely cool to see if you can do it...but meh. I don't see the point just to know that you did it. Agreed with Jbird above.

What's the point?

You are a girl, there is no relevance.

The point is this:

The inspiration for No Fap November

The theory in question

Recent theories and arguments suggest that excessive fapping, especially to extraordinary sexual material at a very high and rampant rate will cause young men to “lose the fire” for genuine love making and will not be able to produce genuine physiological, emotional, and sexual [bedroom] affection for their partner, spouse, SO, etc.

The article suggests that “[a]fter a period of time, excessive porn watchers overstimulate a neurochemical in their bodies called dopamine — the drive behind every "want" and "desire" that humans feel we need to "overcome." But with your libido in constant drive mode, your dopamine reaction will become numb and, eventually, you'll no longer be able to become aroused by the same experiences as before. Basically it states that satisfaction will be HARD to COME by, and you will fall back on pr0n to release your itch for extraordinary material. "

Another theory by our own Arby
Upon further research, I've come across new material that can help us understand more what the deal is:

Most importantly, participating members are looking for a reboot, to avoid internet erotica at all costs. This reboot period should be six to 12 weeks — as needed to completely let go of your pornographic nature. Addicts can experience a temporary loss of libido altogether as well as "insomnia, irritability, panic, despair, concentration problems, and even flu-like symptoms."

Though I don't think the significant other thing applies to you considering you're in like 8th grade, I imagine your little hands are so chafed from battling the one eyed warrior that you could use a break nonetheless.

Jbird you can participate if you so desire, but this is more aimed at the mans on the forums so handblast away.

Umm... I can attest that this theory is wrong.
